Super Impactor Crankcase Ventilation Separator

Crankcase Ventilation - Super Impactor


Diesel Engine Emission Control High Performance Crankcase Separator Systems for the future
With over 20 years experience in crankcase filtration Parker Racor Filter Division Europe, a part of Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion control technologies, has been developing new innovative high efficiency technology for crankcase emission control. Parker introduce the new benchmark for ultra high performance, fit for life, closed crankcase ventilation solutions. The Super Impactor CCV eliminates environmental pollution from crankcase emissions, allowing open and closed crankcase circuit solutions at >98% efficiency, with no service element. Smaller, lighter, more economical and with higher efficiencies than its closest rivals, the systems also include the ultimate crankcase pressure regulator offering the tightest crankcase pressure control. Crankcase blow-by is produced when combustion gases under high pressure are blown passed the piston rings into the crankcase. Laden with oil these gases must be allowed to exit the engine to prevent pressure build up and seal failure. The control of diesel engine blow-by has become an important topic with the progressive reduction of NOX, Hydrocarbon and particulate in the global legislation. By enforcing emissions targets, legislators have committed engine and vehicle manufacturers to find the technological advancements necessary to control blow-by venting and minimize impact on human and environmental health. For achievement of current Euro / EPA directives, Closed Crankcase Ventilation systems are employed to return cleaned blow-by gas to the engine air intake system. The tighter demands for future legislation means that further step changes in engine design will be applied and the performance requirements for CCV systems will become yet more demanding.

Super Impactor Performance


The Parker Super Impactor Si3 has been tested under laboratory conditions as well as in field trials. The performance graphs below show that the Si3 exhibits exceptional separation efficiencies across the key aerosol size distribution ranges seen in crankcase blow-by, both when an engine is run at rated Power and Torque but also across the engine speed and power output range. Typically the Si3 will remove upstream blow-by aerosol oil challenge, reducing it to below 0.2g/hr down stream of the Si3 depending upon application. The Si3 has been validated on current and future Euro / EPA compliant engines and demonstrates tight crankcase pressure regulation control across all engine conditions and turbo depressions, the graph to the right shows crankcase pressures across the engine speed and load range for a Typical Tier 4/Euro 6 engine.

Superimpactor Development History - OEM Focus


The major OEMs for heavy duty engines have found a solution for fit for life crankcase ventilation in oil driven or electrically powered centrifuges. The oil driven centrifuge is complex, relatively costly and requires significant integration into the engine block. This has left the medium duty value sensitive market with lower cost filter solutions with mediocre efficiency and short life servicing intervals. Tier IV engine deliveries start to ramp up. Whilst the Super Impactor is achieving up to 95% gravimetric efficiency the technology has been advanced and optimized using mathematical modeling, CFD analysis, Particle Image Velocimetry, and empirical analysis methods. With a simple modular construction the technology can now include multi-stage impaction reaching up to 98% efficiency or secondary stage submicron filtration achieving in excess of 99% efficiency. The Super Impactor Technology will be available for medium, heavy, and industrial sized engines controlling blow-by gas up to 1000litres per minute whilst maintaining crankcase pressure limits and efficiencies throughout the engine life. The cleaned gas can be closed to the intake system and high separation efficiency prevents damage to turbo compressors and intercooler systems. Alternatively the cleaned gas can be returned to atmosphere and satisfy the total engine emission regulations of the future. The technology enables the return of separated oil back to the crankcase sump and provides long lasting prevention of oil consumption. A great advantage of this development is its malleability and potential for engine integration. The core technology can be integrated into an engine valve cover or other accompanying equipment; such technical solutions are currently being developed in Europe and the USA. Much of the development work has been carried out in-house in Parkers state of the art development facilities in West Yorkshire (UK), but Parker have also partnered with The University of Leeds who have been instrumental in producing key optimised legacy data and software which has enabled the engineers to meet tough development challenges. This information was originally written by Adrian Mincher, R&D Engineer, Racor Filter Division Europe for Engine Technology Magazine.

Current Production Phase 1-Super Impactor

From 2006 the Parker Racor, UK based R&D team initially investigated a simplified competitive centrifuge system driven via compressed air. Whilst early testing was positive, subsequent innovation and engineering theory accentuated the possibility to increase aerosol velocities greater than 100m/s without the use of rotating parts. Primary focus was on taking a small amount of turbo air and using that energy to raise the separation efficiency of an inertial impactor. This technology which is fit for life, flexible in design and light weight has been named the Super Impactor and the first production version went onto production engines in May 2010 with volume deliveries commencing when Tier IIIb and

Racor Crankcase Filtration Filter Coalescer Range


In a robust, compact package, the Racor Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) Filter Systems provide superior oil coalescence and crankcase pressure control under the most severe conditions. CCV systems eliminate crankcase emissions and provide a cleaner engine environment by performing the functions below: They reduce oil consumption by separating the oil from crankcase gases and returning the oil to the sump. The high-efficiency filter prevents fouling of the turbocharger and aftercooler. Keeps engine compartment and components clean. Filtered crankcase gas is returned to the engine intake system for re-combustion instead of polluting the environment.

CCV Operation
CV systems operate by filtering C contaminants and coalescing oil mist from crankcase gases. The crankcase breather hose is connected to the 3/4" inlet hose barb of the CCV assembly. The connection at the engine can be positioned at the valve cover or crankcase. iltered air from the CCV F assembly is plumbed to the air intake system between the air filter and turbocharger. oalesced oil drains from the C filter sump to an external drain. A check valve holds oil in the line until it is released to the oil pan via a hose connection. he pressure regulating valve T protects the engine from excessive crankcase vacuum. The only routine maintenance required for the Racor Closed Crankcase Ventilation filter system is filter replacement. Typical service life of the highperformance filter in diesel applications is 750 hours. Some variations in service life occur depending on load profile, engine wear condition, flow, aerosol mass concentration of crankcase emissions, and soot concentration.
